Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle problems stretching from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
